Pitt received some welcomed news today, as Ocean Township (NJ) quarterback Kenny Pickett pledged to the program. Pickett was a one time Temple commitment who opened his recruitment back up last month, and has since visited Pitt twice in that time. His most recent visit came this weekend, and of course he did not leave town a second time without making a commitment.
Pickett's final college choice came down to Pitt and Boston College. Iowa also offered recently, and his other offers consisted of Temple, Buffalo, Connecticut, and Toledo. He grades out as a three-star by Rivals and 24/7.
